Very nice project! I would love to put a massive 632 in my Suburban, but I've spent to much on the vette!
Are you doing any driveline upgrades/ chassis strengthening?

Other info for those that care...You can get standard deck big block capacities up to about 598ci (same size demension engine as your standard 396-454), then with the higher deck the skys the limit! well almost, You can easily get up to the 700+cube! Ive got a standard deck 540cuber in my Vett with 755BHP, You have to do some chassis strengthening and use a heavy duty drivetrain, otherwise expect constant breakage!
